Professor McGee has made significant contributions to her field through publications such as her peer-reviewed contributions in the Encyclopedia of African American Business and the Kentucky African American Encyclopedia.

Her service to the University is extensive. She has served on Faculty Senate in multiple cycles over the course of her tenure at Kentucky State, and she has worked with the Professional Concerns Committee in her capacity as a Faculty Senator. She has also served on various other committees including but not limited to the Electronic Portfolio Committee, Faculty Recognition Committee and the Retool Your School Committee. She has also been an active member of the local community throughout her years at Kentucky State University, all of which are documented in her dossier.

Professor McGee’s Unit Committee and Chair provided a detailed rationale for her promotion to Full Professor based on the criteria set forth in the Faculty Handbook and the associated criteria applicable to library faculty, whose duties are substantially different than teaching or research faculty. After careful deliberation by the University Tenure and Promotion Committee, a split vote was rendered, with five members voting in favor of promotion and two voting in opposition. The deliberations of the Committee are confidential.

The Committee wishes to extend our thanks to Professor McGee for her many years of dedication and commitment to the Kentucky State University community.
